A $25 harbor freight flare tool will let you double flare the ends to slide the hose over the greased nicopp before adding 2 offset clps.

For high pressure systems you can use break fittings on the flared end with a coupler to connect push to connect barb fittings eliminating most of the soft lines completely. The nicopp flexes enough to allow for chassis flex and can be held tight to the rail with clamps. https://www.amazon.com/Clamp-20-Insu.../dp/B07CJRVB3Y

You can just go back to the quick connect fitting connecting one like in the link below.
Then screw on a push to connect an6 or 8 barb fitting to slide fuel injection hose over that barb. Run that hose to a flared hard line or all the way to your post pump filter/tank return.

PTFE is great stuff but you must use either reusable or crimped AN fittings. For street applications, regular braided line is just fine, and you can run the whole system with it. Steel lines where no flex will occur is better, but you'll need to have a good tool to flare with, and good flares take practice. You CAN run aluminum fuel line, but it's going to be subject to vibration and work hardening, which will cause it to crack. DO NOT USE BRAKE (not "break") lines for fuel, especially if using fuels that contain a percentage of alcohol. The solvents in the fuel can break down the plating in the lines and cause issues with the fuel system. If you plan to use steel hard lines, get plain tubing. If you want to spend the coin, stainless is a great option but expensive, hard to bend, and even harder to flare as you can only do single flares or it will split. Regardless of which direction you go, take your time and have fun with it!
